.~ ASSIZE 'INTELLIGENCE. • • GLOUCESTER Aua. 7. The muse of Smith v. Hodgets, relative to the Staf fordshire Idiot, hiving been adjourned to Wednesday nest, very 'considerable interest Was excited, in expectation of the trial of the case Of Doe, on the demise of Stratford awl others ‘so. LaWretiet. This' was an ejeetment to determine whether L a will made - by a Mrs. Lighthontne, under which the defendant, Walter' Lawrence Lawrence, Esq . . has the property of the mansion and estates at Sandywell Park, about three miles, from Clieltenhion (on thelondoti road), were valid: or not. The estates are supposed to be worth:4oo4 it,year, and the alleged objection to the will was, that it was obtained by undue influence used towards Mrs. Lightbourne. Mr. Sergeant Wilde was specially retained to .conduct the case of the claimants and with him were Mr. Curwood, Mr. Ludlow, Mr. Mal, and Mr.C.: Phillips—For Mr. Lawrence, a special retainer was given to Mr. Searlett, and with him were Mr. Taunton, Mr. 00100, and :Mr. Russel. At nine o'clock, Mr, justice Burrongh,took his seat, and the rush to. get in was tremendous, the street. being crowded all across with perstms, of the highest re spectability in Cheltenham, who were araiOUS to witness the ttial. On the Learned Judge taking his seat, Mr. Curwood rose and said, that Mr. Sergeant Wilde had not arrived, and, therefore, he, had to ask his Lordship to postpone the trial till the next morning. M r. Scarlett.—My Lord, .I.should be most, happy to accede to that arrangement, but I stn obliged to be in the north the day after .to-morrow, and I feel assured that my friend, Mr. (214rwood, is coiite adequate to conduct the case. Mr. Curwood—My Lord, 1 sin not a man to shrink from my duty, mid if I had been. originally retained to lead this cause, I would have done so, feeling convinced that if I am ever to be tit to conduct a.• cause, I have arrived at a time of life when I should do so; but as the Learned Ser geant has been specially retained, I am not prepared at this short notice to act in his stead. Mr. Justice Burrough—This is, of course, an unfore,, seen circumstance, and therefore the only way to be par- stied;-will'- be- to withdraw the record,- The record was accordingly withdrawn, whick,has the effect of postponing the cause to the next Asaittes,, which it is believed will cost the parties 10004 each, as, upwards of a hundred, vitnesses were in ,attendante on one. side and the other. His Lordship then proceeded with the other causes: AticieST 8. (7.itoWlfi Joz/'plt `lron was indieted fin felonioosly seeding a letter to George Gregory, at . Willeshorough, on the Nth of June, demanding twenty sovereigns, and thrktenieg to murder hiM unless be complied. The indictment chit* ed the prisoner with sending to the same party''another' letter of the same import, 'dated 11th :Tune. On the ap plication-of the prisimer's counsel, the eopesel fa th e Crown were desired to Confine their proof to the first count, , anti the ground that two distinct felonies could not be charged in the same indictment. It uppeared in' evidence that the proseeuter,,a gentle.: man of fortune, lately returned from India, had taken up his abode at Willeaborough, , near- Ashford. On the Bth of June, he received by the General. Post the following anonymous letter, which ,fororthography, , presents a, sin gular specimen of epistolatory composition " I have wrote a few lines to you, and i int. in great distress all tbrou you, for you have a time back engered me of, all my,pro perty ; -and now, if not by good will, I most by bad, liaveV6 sufferens of you, and you Mat put them at a priVate place for me, for if you clout, i will be the death of you in some way or oth e r ; if I cant do it slyly, i will do it in the middle of the day, or' in the night, or the first upertunety ; & if yini" say annoy thine about this, i will murder you the same as if you dent pot it there: look down aside. your front wall sunit door post, and move the'illict, you will find a small purse; put the stiffrreics in ii, suentwit figtiltr'st the same place ; if you wish to 'Tite do it; fur if pm door, pre, ( pare for death ; for your time will be, short ; , for, hear is four of tisi and if you put it there, and say, nothing shout. it,,lear not.

He then gave direetiOes to servant to watch the apt; and 9prehend the 'person who came for the bag.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER.. , LISBON, July . l4.—The Count of Porto Santo has given in his resignation. It is not so much the Charter to which he is adverse, as the influence which has given it to us. M. de Porto Santo is one of—those who think that every thing which comes to us through the English is a snare. Besides, this is not the first time that this States man has boldly expressed his sentiments. lie said, on one occasion, at Madrid, to Sir William A'Court, " The policy of a Portuguese should be, above every thing, to shake off the yoke ; which for more than a:century your nation has imposed upon ours!! And, nevertheless, that was the Ministry over which so true a Portuguese pre sided, which persons were pleased to represent eighteen months since, as having been, appointed by British in fluence. I told you, at that time, the reve rs e, and you will see whether all my predictiOns are not verified. It is certain that John VL, being pressed by England, to sacrifice one of •bis minitittrs ; and being also pressed by that minister to accept his resignation, revenged him self on British insolence, by dismissing.all the. administra tion; including the three members of, the Cabinet, whom England wished to preserve. The Monarch then replaced 'a di'Vided administration, the majority of . which was in the English interest, by a ministry compoied of men, the declared enemies of every foreign yoke.' It is also certain, that the administration of M. de ,Porto Santo was extremely displeasing to Mr. Canning, and, that he expressed his discontent more than once. The administration of N. de Porto Santo would have been able to effect much good, if it had been seconded. But you are aware of all the contradictions, unceasingly experienced by our virtuous Sovereign. He died, over whelmed by troubles, and deeply, regretting his inability to render all the service to his people, which he never ceased to wish. It will, perhsps, be said, that M. de Porto Santo is an advocate of despotism. Be not deceived. This firm and upright minister has always belonged to the wise and mo derate party—in a' word, to that of the King. Filially, the wisdom of the Regent is most worthy of praise, and the nomination of the Duke de Cadaval to the Presiding of the Chamber of Peers, is approved of by all the friends of order and the country., NVo. may , be well assured that he will not, lone night of the iiitereatayorVin , L tiffik i l k"::: 1 6 1 1 r gy ttrted. more wisely onnne the . 11.) athninistration of Portugal to the Dukes de (2adayal and de la Foeus. These excellent brothl4s; tin most power- ful nobles of the kingdom, will be always the first io give an example of fidelity to the Portuguese, and our young Queen Maria, our legitimate Sovere►gn, whether absent or present, will in them always find noble defenders. It appears that Sir Charles Stuart is about to leave us, on his return to England. We shall be well rid of his protectorship. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning l5 minutes after 6. (-Evening 56 minutes after 6. (From the Journal de; Debuts.) Wilerznutto. (Bavaria), July 25.—We are' informed, that, in, the conferences of Lembach, the King has again, and with ranch energy, insisted on the execution of the Treaty which secures to Bavaria the restitution of the Palatinate of the Rhine, on its right bank. Austria pays 100,000 florins a-year to Bavaria, until the execution of the. Treaty ; but the King, has manifested deep regret at being still separated from the ancient subjects Of his jiriuse. His Majesty has refused all the demands of M. de. Met ternich, for alterations respeeting the Liberty of the Ptessi and the 'publicitt of the Sittings of the Chambers. A piquant saying of the King is generally talked of. On the departure of a Bavarian Nobleman, attached to his person, for Vienna, he addressed him so as to be heard by the whole Court of Austria, in these. words---" When you see Prince Metternich, beg of him from me, not to entertain so much fear of the Constitution of Bavaria, and assure him that I shall never be a King of Jacobins, but that also I shall never cease to be King of the Bavurianl." It is knOwa that M. de Metternich . , and his intimate adViser; M. tie Gent; give modern Constitutional 'Kings the nick. name of Jacobin Kings. (From the Constituiionnel.)

' . . , ROME, JULY 25.--(Extract of a private letter.)--The health of the Holy Father is daily improving. The wea ther is favourable to his frequent promenades. The Reverend Fraternity of 'Jesus, who have already ~o -tered tered upon their ancient Roman Coliege ,and other rem, blishments belonging to them, have lately received from Government the tine situation called Palazzo Baromei, which had heretofore been lathe possession of`their Order.

In another column vvill be found extracts from the Paris Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile dated Monday morning. , HADI and IBRAHIM EFFENDI, the Turkish Ple nipotentiaries to the Congress at Atkermann, were re ceived at Jassy on the 10th'Of July, by the Hospodar of the Principality, with great ceremony.: The Rus sian Consul arrived on the 12th. The Etaile, referring to the report of the presumed re-establishment of the Order of Malta, gives a sketch of the history of the Order, from, its foundation, in 1048, till IVEalta fell into the hands of SUORAPARTE by treachery, and then by famine into the power . of England, to whom it was finally adjusted in 1814. " Europe," says the - Etoile, - " welt the consequence* of this deplorable spoliation ; and England itself saw them a few yearA ago, when the pride of Algiers showing- . less respect to its flag, than to that of the order, obliged it tn undertake the useless ea ,. pedition of 1B 16 .

England Will never cede posses. sion of it to the Wets of the Order of St. John, nor to any Order or State whatever. Its possession is too important to us, not only in preserving the balance: of power, and preventing the ambitious views of other Cabinets, bin also as a refitting port for ships of War stationed in the Mediterranean. Among our extracts will be found a private letter from Lisbon, taken from the Quotidienne,' which be trays great mortification at the t r i um ph o f t h e policy of England, over the intrigu e s o f F rance at t h e Portu guese Court. Count de MONT LOSI ER'S 'denunciaition against the Jesuits gives rise to long disiussions in:these Papers. The freedcirn :with which the principles and proceed ings of this order are now canvassed, will tend to arrest its growing power, by setting the tide of public opinion -against it. . Letters were received, yesterday from Madrid. They were dated on the 28th ulthno,, and fully confirm the accounts which had before reached us, of the effect produced on the minds of the Spaniards, by the esta blishment of a Constitutional Charter in Portugal. Madrid, however, was quiet ; but some disturbances, ending in bloodshed, had occurred at Saragossa. It is impossible that Spain can remain much longer in her present situation. The minds of the whole po pulation are becoming ripe for a change, and no power on earth, wiU be able to prevent its taking place. FERDINAND would do well to anticipate the storm, by seizing the pret,ent opportunity to bestow volun, tardy upon the nation, such a Constitution as will inevitably be wrung from him by force, at no distant period. His Majesty's packet brig Mrignel has arrived at Falmouth, with a Lisbon mail; but as she briitgslet ters and papers to the 16th ult. only, being thirteen days prior to the date of the mail received the day before yesterday —we, of course, learn nothing new by them.

"Her Royal Highness the Infanta Donna Isabella Ma ria eagerly embracing every opportunity to make known the elated and virtuous sentiments her august brother the Infante Dqn Miguel, and desiring at the same time that the persons interested in the Casa do Infantado may be informed of the course they have to take, has peculiar sa tisfaction in ordering the publication of the following let ters which answers both those ends." This Gazette contains also the Emperor's decree of the immediate convocation of the Cortes, that ordering that the Patriirch and all the Archbishdps and Bishops shall be ex-ojicio Members of the House of Peers, and also a cor rect list of the Peers. Jtn,Y -15.---Letter from the Infanta Donna Isabella, in answer to those ,of her august brother the Infant Don Miguel. N.B. This is the letter , to which that of Don Miguel, inserted in yesterday's - Gazette, is the answer. "My Beloved Brother. 7 ;-4 have received your letters of the 2d and fith, of July, which I highly value, and which filled My heart with real pleasure, by the senti ments of respect, consideration, and love, which my bro, ther expresses and manifeSts for the blessed . memory of our august father, whose death, I, and our family, and the whole nation deplores, and will lament as long as sen timents of honour, religion, and filial duty subsist among us. " But it is not on this account only that I highly value your letters ; it is also for the agreeable impression which they make on all good . Portuguese (and those are the, ma jority), and for the horror with which they strike the wicked, who, under the false and deceitful appearance of friendship to my brother, desired scenes of bloodshed and horror, to be able, in, the midst of revolution and disorder, to satiatetheir rage upon the innocent, and to improve their own fortunes. I have ordered your letter of the 6th of Aug., to be immediately published,' that the_ whole nation may know that my dear brother is a good son and good sub ject, and that . by retaining and pUtting in practice the sen timents which he expresses in his letter, he will one day be a good father, and perhaps a good sovereign. " My brother knows me perfectly, and that I have no de sire to resign:. Meantime, however, Vtannot 'do other wise than remain at the head of the Government, accord.; ing to the last will of Our August father, till the legitimate successor to'the throne (our beloved brother the Emperor of. Brazil) shall give his orders and declare his will. The remainder of this letter relates only to the'C'osa do Infanlado, to the refillsl of the Queen Dowager to take the management of it, which the. Princess therefore took on herself till Don Miguel should give orders on the sub ject. Her Royal HiFlmess speaks in terms of praise of the conduct of the j iseount de Villa Nova' da Raiaha in the management of the Casa do Infantado. This letter is dated llth of May. The Gazette contains likewise, an Edict of the In tendant-General of Police, ordering the delivery of the garbled and falsified extract of the Constitutional Charter. Notice is taken of the imprudence and audacity of certain individuals of the lower classes, in insulting.persous wear ing the medal of Fidelity to Royally. The Gazette of the 15th begins the publication of the Constitutioii. As a proof of the present deplorable state of Spain w give the following extract of a letter from Madrid, dated July' 25 : "The Cottncil of State is still anxious to send an army to the frontiers of Portugal;" and, in the Sitting of the 22d, when this project was discussed for the 10th time, General Castanoi said " Even if we did not require troops in the interior of Spain, the GoVernment cannot comply with year, request, because there it no army, and that name cannot be given to some groups of men who are insubordinate and dernoraliwed." • nu.

We, wished to avoid making an observation upon the subject until peace was restored between these' great law and equity authorities. This we may.now presume to.be. the case—for as the. VICE CHANCELLOR discharged a broadside 'on Monday, and the LoRD CtiArtow.Oß did not return the fire yesterday,.we may conclude that his LORDSHIP con sidered the last shot of his VIcE, as, nothing more than a discharge of his ammunition before be struck his colours ; and that he, therefore, need not waste any more powder in answering' the fire. But if peace' be not positively concluded between these great men, we hope, for ,the credit of their exalted stations, that , no. further active . demonstrations of war will be made by either party against the other. Nothing lessens the consequence of high station, or, the possessors' of it, so much as those petty bickering) which are considered. contemptible in. humble situations of life, but which, when exhibited by, distinguished characters of 'the State; may be designated as 'not less improper than ridiculous. In 'the case in point, we neither 'know, nor does it signify, which of the judicial authorities was in the rightbut it appears to us that the dignity of both would have been better sustained, if, when it was known 'that a diffetence of opinion existed between them, either the C4ANCELLQR had, deeired to speak. to the VICE upon it, or the latter had. sought an in terview with his LORDSHIP, for .the purpose of coming to a mutual understanding upon the point 'in dispute: One of them must in this,,as in all other eases of dif ference of opinion, have been in the wrong, and we; cannot suppose that either would have pertinaciously adhered to his opinion against the sound arguments of the other ; but if this: had been the case—then the supreme authority of the CIIANcELLoR aught to have settled the question, and the public been spared the pain of hearing altercations carried. on between these high , personages, on information whieh each must have obtained from Newspaper reports of the expressions used by the other on the preceding day. If great men dispute, .their disputes should be in secret:; and as many a man, passes for a hero, who is no hero to his valet, so a Judge may command the respect of the world, who, if the private errors and prejudices of his nature were exposed, would sink, in public opinion, to a level with characters of less pretence and estimation. The taste for sailing and nautical ainusements, which has become of late years so generally prevalent with men of fashion and fortune in this country, and has spread itself from that class to all ranks of life, has already been productive of very considerable benefit i n a na ti o nal point of view, and will probably lead to C about'S 000 w m i o i i s e t h s important teen e t o h t e i a first fruit . 0 ;1: 1 1: e i s Royalfa shion Y : C ol :l it I,l l .s t e b, s i n it s numbers, vessels whose aggregate tonnage falls but little short of 6,000 tons, employing and equipment of Th e building, repairing, , these vessels give constant employment to a still greater rttartber of persorvi, and the emulation which is excited for the construction of vessels of the fitstest sailing qua lities, leads to a general. improvement in the art of ship seamen. building. But independently of these advantages, we must not overlook the still snore important one of giving to a considerable number of our youths of for. tune, who partake of .the diversion of ;selling simply as such, ' a taite which is congenial with the best in terests of this' country, and habits and ideas calculated to make them spurn the less manly, and more riper vating, pursuits of fashiOnable life. The effect which this will have on the national character, amongst the most favoured children of fortune, cannothfaillo be considerable, and will be gradually evinced' in the more generous, bold, and frank character of the next gene-' ration of the gentlemen of England. From the mid- dling and lower ranks, to which the taste for sailing and the love of aquatic amusements has rapidly spread, a constant supply of officers and men for our Fleet will be produced, alike fitted by inclination and early habit to the profession on which the security, the wealth, and the glory of this country must ever chiefly depend. Inanother part of our Paper will be found a list H of the present Yacht Club, which annually in creases in numbers and consequence ; 'but numerous as this Club is, still it ranks amongst its members a veryssmall proportion of those innumerable pleasure-, vessels which this fashionable inclination has creat ed, and annually employs on every part of the coasts of this kingdom. It has been stated in"several of the Papers that various plans have been suggested to Government for giving employment to the unemployed workmen of the Northern Districts, so as to render them inde pendent of eleemosynary aid, either from parochial or private ftindsi but that Ministers are divided to the propriety of sanctioning or undertaking any public work in the present state of the Treasury. This and allother reports of divisions in the Cabinet, are pro bably without the slightest foundation ; at all events, the writers of these paragraphs can have no informs tion On the subject which can justify their making assertions of this nature. It is not impossible that some of his Majesty's . Ministers may entertain opi nions different from those of others, of the measures proper to be pursued under the present very difficult circumstances, but, sve can positively state that 110 differ:elide' of Opinion amounting to a " division" has, or is likely, to take place amongst the Cabinet. With regard to public works we regret to bear it said that some which had been contemplated have been. abandoned, while others in progress are to be sus pended, or carried on with less activity than had bees before ordered, in consequence of the necessity of lessening public expenditure. If such a decision has been come to, we cannot help thinking it a very minim' one. Money spent in materials and labour, on public works within the country, can never be iurious -- : but, , on the contrary, will give activity and s pirit to trade in.general, which must be beneficial to the com munity at large. The discontinuance of works already begun will still farther add to the embarrassments of the country, by throwing out of employ a number of persons 'who will not be able to find it elsewhere ; and by materials ordered, being countermanded, the star nation of many. branches of business will be Jew dered more severe than it is already. We are fill] y convinced that the wiser course would be to determine to proceed with rapidity with all public works in progress, or decided upon : as hereafter neces sary, by which means the present distress might be re. lieved in the accomplishment 'of objects which, if postponed, may ultimately cost the three tittles as much, and not do one-third of the good whit would 'result from the well timed expenditure necessary sums in this period of distress among the working classes. The friends of the Church will rejoice to o bserve by last night's Gazette, the elevation of Dr. COPPLE' STON, Provost of Oriel College, to the Deanery of Chester. The diStinguished reputation a Dr. C°F . PLESTON, as a divine, a scholar, and a politi cal writer, could not fail to attract the notice of the .Paul , of LIVERPOOL, wh ose p ure a nd impartial disposAl °I the Church patro nage o f th e Crown, forms one of the most honourable fe a tures in the character of his adini nistration ; a nd hi s a pp r opii a tion o f the Deaneri c Chester on the present occasion, adds another wield': to his Lordship's well-deserved popularity in resP ec to Church affairs. As we find that the paragraph which was in" serted in the SUN, on the 26th July; stating that Mr. TURNER, would not appear against Mr* WAKEFIELD, has given rise to much conversation in Lancaster and its vicinity, we think it right distinc ti , ) : l to state, that the paragraph in question was insette on'the authority of our agent, employed to furni' ll l : report of the trial, and that the information on sa le , : it was founded was not given to us, directly or in'w rectly, by Mr. WAKEFIELD, Of any of his family' If our agent has led us to make an incorrect 5 _ 11 . 1t4. ment, we must lament it but if h e b a s' hirnselfl imposed upon, he has our authority to giv e uP author, if he thinks proper so to do.
